2008 MAY BE A LAMB OF GOD-LESS YEAR, BUT LET’S NOT FORGET JUST HOW BRUTAL OUR BOYZ ARE

The dudes in LOG certainly deserve a break — down time from the road, a moment or two to get back into that backyard woodworking project, a few hundred humps with a special lady…all that and more. But please, let’s not forget how amazing this band is. Our extended hiatus from the strength of Lamb of God should only serve to bring us closer when they triumphantly return, no?
As a small reminder, here is “Nippon”, the Japanese bonus track off LOG’s first official full-length album, New American Gospel. Go punch a whiny cashier in the mouth.
LAMB OF GOD - “Nippon”, from New American Gospel (2000)

the LOG logo is over the text, so i can’t read it
Stand by, Dr T — we’re working out the kinks…
Well, hopefully in their downtime Halo of Locusts will FINALLY put out their release.
ALSO
when they do decide to enter the studio, I hope they leave the Machine at home and empty with intentions of bring back the Crypt Keeper…or get someone like James Murphy to help bring the shredtastic LOG.
Agreed.
Lamb of God is good on record, but they are boring live. At least, I was really bored when I saw them.
jup, can read it now
Never heard Nippon before.. that’s a bad ass track. New American Gospel was a fucking ridiculous album from beginning to end. It reminds me of how much Randy’s voice used to suck though lol. The guitars are sick as fuck as always.
There’s no way a new album from LOG can suck after what they did on Sacrament though. It wasn’t the best, but it really showed the band figuring out new ways to do things while still sounding like Lamb Of God, and no one else. Mark Morton and Chris Adler are easily 2 of my favorite musicians. Not to say they don’t all contribute, but those guys are obviously the driving force in the band.
@david: Word. I’ve seen Kerry King interviewed and LOG were mentioned, he said the same thing. Something along the lines of, “I just don’t get them. They’re a great band, but when you see them on stage, it’s like they’re at rehearsal or something.”
All the 14 year olds in the crowd when I’ve seen them, though, have always gone nuts.
I have to disagree with the guys on here saying LOG isn’t a good live band.
I’ve seen them probably 10 or 11 times over the years, and they are one of the few bands who brings it, every single time. Never seen these guys put on a bad show.
LOG needa a year off Sacrament was a WEAK followup to NAG.
I really wish I would have had more acronyms to toss into this post.
SGEP! That works.
I’m with you, TJ. I’ve only seen Lamb of God twice, and both times it was like an atom bomb going off. Once was last year’s Ozzfest, where they were so above and beyond anyone else on the mainstage—Ozzy included—that it was no contest. The previous time was at Unholy Alliance where they somehow managed to steal the show from Slayer.
